Many Americans assumed the Confederate flag was retired for good after governors in South Carolina and Alabama removed it from their statehouses this summer and presidential candidates from both parties declared it too divisive for official display.
But people still fly it, and not just in the South, despite announcements by leading flag-makers and retailers that they will no longer sell products showing the secessionist battle flag.
Some who display it are motivated by pride in their ancestry or enthusiasm for Southern history. Others see it as a symbol of their right to challenge to authority in general, and the federal government in particular. And some have hoisted Confederate flags in recent weeks precisely because it's generating controversy again.

Yankees will never understand our Confederate Flags. They have no recollection of Lincoln's illegal invasion without the consent of congress, or of his suspension of the writ of habeas corpus for the duration of his administration. They do not remember the thousands of Northerners who were imprisoned without trial for years because they opposed Mr. Lincoln's War and the New York draft riots where a black orphanage was burned and black men were hung and children killed. Yankees are mindless sheep who have forgotten their sins and their ill treatment at the hands of Lincoln.

DeleteThat is an amazing photo, so much in that shot that obliterates the Bolshevik "rayciss" narrative.
ReplyDeleteI thought much the same. Thanks.
